Santa Anna with five thousand of the cextral army left the city, swearing worse than ever the British army did in Flanders, on the retribution which awaited that ‘‘insurgent.” Near faluca, he encounter. ed the red artillery of heaven, which so distarbed the “Prince of President’s’”’ nerves, that he could not par- take of a aplendid repast prepared in advance by one of the palace Salamancas for bis refreshment. He lost both appetite and digestion. From thence he moved on Morelia, in possession of his troops, and where he re- ceived the congratulations on this successful, if not tri- umpbal march. Among these was the Gov. of Guanajua- to, who had left hia command to pay homsge to his chief. ‘The pronuncia‘os, under Dr. Questor, availed themselves of his abeence to alarm the capital and visit the mine of Perez Galvaz, and the mint, and relieve both from being plundered by the Prince.

Zeres pursued Gonzales, (another wig of Begollado’s command,) and near Pachuca encountered @ similar defeat. Santa Anna’s indecisive show to act was excused at Mo- Telia, When advised that Comonfort, the panther General, was at Arerio, @ small, village near Zamors, he wheels back .on him and was in march to put down tke rebel chief in that quar- ter. But as a portion of his troops returned this day to the capital, it is supposed that Santa Anna isoa his return, ascertaining that Comonfort hed a well organized ard well supplied force, with 2,500 men, and that there may be davger in placing the central army between two fires. Degoliado and Comonfort are be- coming too strong to be imprudently braved. It is more greteny, therefore, that Santa Anke will pe the Gari. 8 at night, to his seclusion at the palace days, there to await events; unless, on second thought, he yuts his hounds on his scent for the capital slopes for the Pacific, where, rumor says, he @ vessel in waiting for his fifth exodus from a land he has so tyran- nized over and #0 abused.

The last fortnight has been fmiitfulin events. The appearance of the insurgents near the city of Mexico, battle of Tisayuca, the journey of H. S. H. from Mo- relia to Arrio, his humilicting retreat, the capture of Monterey, all furnish material sufficient to augment the terror of rome, the hopes of others, and to satisfy the curiosity of all. My last letter closed at the period when Senta Anns ‘was on his way from Morelia to Zamora. The ramor that he had retreated upon Guansjuato was without foundation. It was the insurgents who, with great sa- gacity, bad quitted Zamora before the arrival of the government bots Puebdlita alone remained with his necticn, waiting the sight of the ecemy before he left. Senta Anna, therefore, reached Zamora without strikio, a blow—an easy victory, but yet the most substantial he is likely to achieve. Stories published in the papers of the defeat of Pueblita are utterly false. Santa Anna did send party’ in pursuit of him, but v alrous soldiers returned, ir an absence swearing bs Bel unable to discover s fle trace of the daring rebel; whereupon Senta Anna lavished apon them some of those choice epithets of reproach with which the Spanish vocabulary sbounds. ‘After the capture of Zamors, the insurgents took dif- ferent routes; and what is almost incredible, whilst Banta Anos was on bis to the the interior to exter- mipate them, ee eet ceed of bere co der the command of were marching almost the very walle of thet capiel Degollado, with 1,500 barse, arrived within four leagues of this city. {tis waid his preeence had been invoked by a certata partissn of the , Mamed Villanueva, who had promised to raise standard of revolution within the city. - FE} dove and Perote hi ting off Santa Ann: reach Vera Cruz and quit the country.

[Translated for the New York Hersld.] The Universal of Mexico disausses in a series of arti- cles the question of Cuba, vis-a-vis of the United States. In these it labors to chew the analogy between this ques- tion andthe Eastern question, and to prove that the Spanith American people are equally interested in re- pelling the advance of the United States in that dires- tion, asthe Western Powers are in protecting Turkey from the Czar. The only difference between tHe two is, saya the Universal, that Russia aspires to dominate in Europe in the name of despotiam, and the United States sepires to dominate im America in the name of liberty There it is monarchical tyranny which is seught to be impose@ here it is popular tyranny, Repugnent as both are, the last {s most unsupportable, because it is hypo critical, and is exercised in the itextension, It in hypocritical, because it is covere the mask of liberty; and it is exercised in a wider space, because the people are everywhere. When # monarch ie a tyrant hs can be fied from; how can one escape from tyranny when the tyrant is the Feel * * Ld For those who have followed ‘ch of events for two yeare past, the sympathies existing between the United States and ‘Russia are not a mystery The latter exercise in America the same réleas tho former does in Europe, and it is natural that they give each other the hand. The United States know that if the Allies-triumph in the contest, they will carry evsry where their victorious fing, to cover with it the territo ries threatened by unmeasured ambition. Eogland and France will then come to America to tell the republic of Washington what ia the will of the nations with respect to the security amd ‘incependence of each, and the co- Jossus will have to halt in its carcer, and to adjust its future polley to the code of justice andof morality adopted by human nocieties. ‘Therefere, we, although there were no other reason, would be, in the question of the East, on the side of the Allied Powers througn reason of convenience. It suits us that Spain do not lose the island of Cuba, for thie motive, among others: that if she tone It, it’has to fall into the hands of the United States; and from the moment that the United States get Cuba, the independence of Spanish America may be re- warded as concluced, The triumph of the Allies in Ku- rope would ward off thatevil. Mherefore, we say shat the question of Cuba has not only an analogy with the question of the East, but depends upon it, * * Spanish Amerios, in the question of Cuba, is called upor to defend the same principles of morality, of jus- tice, and of international law, as Europe in in thy Rast- ern war, It is true that each of these countries, takin art in that immense crusade, will detend its security ‘ant is independence; bat in this there is ne egotiem of any kind, but ® noble and legitimate sentiment of conservatism. And therefore the mission of there peo. pe cannot be mors givrioas, when tt is considered that e goverament defends, with their independence and their nationality, a religion which has civilized these re- gions—a history illuscrated by so many great events— an entire continent im; with the finest conquests of the Catholic civitization—a race, in fine, which has for three centuries executed the mission of dissipating the dark nese of barbarity, and has gathered under ite banners the soldier of the cross and the Catholic missionary. * * The first consequence of these rights and daties is, that the Spanish American countries ought to ask the United States, every time that they take « step towards the equator, the reason of thei¢ conduct; that they ought to intervene in every way in the negotiations which may be established on the future destiny of Cans; that they onght to have cognizance of every that is adopted to change the present con ‘itio island, nly in reference to a tran-lation ef do- minion to Power, but also having for object an emancipation, which is im; ible, and whisn would be the germ of ltke dangers for us. ‘And after all this, when ambition reaches the point of employing force and violence to attain its emda, the right aad the duty of Spanish America is to rush to the Hsts with armed hand to defend their independence and their liberty. * * * Though there are not here, as in Europe, two great Powers to rush to the froat of a cos ition, to fight the common enemy, wo muy safely that it is Mexico whose duty it is to unfai before any oher country ef the New Worl!’ the banzer under which our nationalities and our race have to be defended.

[From the Chicago Trioune, June 13,} The case of the people ex relaiione Nicholas Stauber vs. Anthony Schnieder, which came befere the courtof Com- mon Pless of Cook county, Hon, Johs M.

It appeare that, abeuta year Nicholas Stamber, ‘then a priest of the Cathelic chureb, was united in mar- riage with Anna Maria Xchnied German girl, the daughter of the detendant, and Catholic. The marriage cerem performed by Father Peter: Kramer, in a private reom, without the use of the wed- ding ring, and without witnesses. Io all other respects the marriage ceremony was performed according to the rites of the Catholic church, the parties agi and consentin, crises Fepteisien tenement and wife to each other, and the p giving the nuptial benediction and pronouncing them wan and wie. After the ceremony, Father Nieholas took the gtri home a her as i” q 23 ra or coy gg ea er bind! ay wages regularly.

On Saturday, the defendant appeared before the Hon. John M. Wilson, in the Court of Commop Pleas, and, in ‘ebedience to the writ, produced the body of his’ daugh ter. The husband was also present. For the purpose of ascertaining the true state of the case, and of finding out what ber wishes were in regard to living with her husband, the Court ordered the room to be cleared of all persons except the officers of the courffan interpreter, or fs ge for the press, and proceeded to question 0 girl. We are not, of course, at ey to disclose all that wax then elicited; but dt appeared in addition to thi above facta that she did mot consider the marriage legal or binding, because her husband was a priest; that she left ber busband of her own accord; and that che wished now to go with her parents and stay with them, and not to go with her husband; that the reason that she wished to leaveher husband was that she had been edusated in ‘the belief that she could never go to heaven if she lived im marriage with a priest; but that no threats whatever had been made te her by her parents, by the priests, or by the bisbop. She gave her name as Anns Mary Sehnie- der, and not as Anne Mary Stamber.
